Lost serial number and stuck in recovery mode

hello my iphone 4s stuck in recovery mode i try many time using itune but it wont work my iphone was eror acur 9 and the serial number of my device is n/a theres no serial number for my device it just missing

I have this exact same issue... when I try to restore my iPhone it gives me the dreaded error 4013.
Could this be dock related? I know the short answer is YES, but how can I be 100% certain?
Already changed USB cable and port. I tried cleaning the dock with clean compressed air (the kind that comes in a can to clean electronics...) and it did nothing...

  • Updating IOS Failed and stuck on recovery mode

    i'd tried to update my iphone 4 ios 7.0.4 to 7.1, but it gave error and stuck on recovery mode i tried to restore it to previous ios but failed again, anyone have idea what i should do to restore iphone to previous ios or ios 7.1 ...

    You can't restore to a previous iOS. Try this procedure:
    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. I'll request that Apple move your post.

  • Purchased new mac, but lost serial number and no longer have access to registered email.  Help

    Hi,
    As the subject header states, I purchased new mac, but lost my serial number and no longer have access to registered email.  I had purchased the Creative Suite Web and Design C6 version.  Support said they can only forward my lost serial number to the registered email.  Since she was without effective tools, she recommended I post something on the forums for support.  Anyone have the ability to get me back to using my suite?
    Thank you,
    Philip

    Only the person(s) you spoke to have the ability to provide you with the serial number.  People here can merely suggest where to look for it.  If you registered your software when you installed it originally then you should be able to find your serial number stored in your Adobe account online in the Products section.
    You might want to try updating your information in your account if the email is the only thing holding back from getting the info sent to you.

  • IPod 4 only working when conected to mains after battery replacment and stuck in recovery mode when conected to power

    HI, 
    i have replaced the screen and battery on my iPod 4 i then tested it and it was working so i sealed it closed. (still working after sealed) (when new batterys are installed it is normally reccomended that you give them a full battery cycle for optium battery life), so i let it die. after this i put it on charge and the lightening bolt sign for charging came on, i left it for a full day and no change in battery life and when disconected it died so i plugged it into the pc and this continued so i reset it a few times then it decided to loop the apple sign when conected to power. i put it into dfu mode (the only time the pc reconises it) and went to restore it and it came up error 21 (i think) and now is stuck in recovery mode and dies when disconected from power. Lots of probs 
    any help would be apreacheated. thanks

    Take it to somebody with more experience fixing iPods.

  • Blue screen and stuck on recovery mode (error 9)

    Hello everyone!!
    I have been having  this problem with my iPhone 5s since the last two weeks. I thought it was a problem with my old charging cable but got myself a new one two days ago and the blue screen keeps happening.
    Now I'm trying to restore it but it got stuck on recovery mode and iTunes gives me the error code 9. Does anyone have a solution for this??
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    well then the firewall would be a good suspect I suppose

  • Lost serial number and hadn't registered

    i bought elements 11 last year.. didn't get around to using it. didn't register it. now i need to use it i only have the disc not the box as the kids opened it and threw it away. i bought it from amazon. i can't get any help on the adobe chat support. any suggestions?

    It doesn't sound too hopeful.  You need the serial number and no one here is able to provide one.  Maybe you should contact Amazon and try to talk them into getting you a new copy since they are the only ones with a record of your purchase.

  • Lost serial number and don't have it registered to my account.

    I had Photoshop CS6 installed on my computer but I had to reset the computer and the software was removed. I went to reinstall it and realized I had lost the card with the serial number on it. I didn't register it to my adobe account and so I can't get it by looking under My Products. Is there another way to get the number?

    I imagine you'll need some sort of proof of ownership.  What do you have, and were did you get it from?  Do you have an email reciept, for instance?

  • Help..I updated my iphone4 to iOS to 7.1.1 from 6.1.3 at last stage of firmware upgrading throwing an error 16 and stuck in recovery mode.

    HIAll
    I waited so long not to update of my iphone4 to 7.x.x because of bugs and not much stable for iPhone4 and many reviews from friends saying phone is very slow and many bugs but after release of iOS 7.1.1 of many improvements for iphone4. I tried to update my iphone4 to 7.1.1 through iTunes at last stage of firmware upgrading its showing an error occurred error (16). I checked in internet error16 is purely hardware issue before my phone is very good condition in iOS6.1.3 no problem with my phone, But after upgrading to how it will be hardware issues. why Apple engineers are not testing properly their software’s before releasing great updates to customers now my phone is out of warranty and I can’t use it anymore just showing iTunes symbol and charger on the screen while on/off showing apple logo. From the past September there is no proper solution for error 16. Don’t know  what these people are doing about that error why apple is crashing customer phones by releasing useless update to phones what is the point of buying such a expensive phones don't know what to do with this phone. Tried many possible ways
    Tried: presing home+power button at 95% of  firmware update
              Disconnected battery and restored
              used DrPhone to restart
              tried to restore old version 7.x.x
              no luck.
              used new original cables
              restored with Macbook
              tried to restore in 3 Different computers and so many times but  no luck

    Hi, to get your iPhone  4 back to normal, here're two ways for you.
    1.  Use Dr.Fone for iOS. The free trial version can fix iPhone screen of death. The free trial version can do that, you don't have to pay.
    Just download and install this software on your computer and connect your iPhone 4 to computer with a USB cable. When it detects your iPhone 4 is abnormal, click Restart the device to get your iPhone 4 to be normal.
    2. Use iTunes to fix it.
    Step 1. Make sure that the latest iTunes is installed on your computer.
    Step 2. Plug into a USB cable to connect your iPhone4 to computer.
    Step 3. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time for about 10s.
    Step 4. 10 seconds later, release the sleep/wake button. But continue to hold the home button until a message comes out, saying "iTunes has discovered an iPhone 4 in recovery mode, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
    Step 5. Click your iPhone 4 in the left sidebar to show the device control panel on the right. Then, click Summary.
    Step 6. Go to Backups section and click Restore Backup.... In the drop-down list, choose a backup file and restore to your iPhone 4

  • I have boxed version of iWork8 but have lost serial number and cannot activate on new computer.  How can I reactivate program?

    I have the disks but not the serial number. Have new mac pro laptop, but cannot access old pages and numbers files.

    Doesn't the box show the serial number?  Do you have your old computer with iWork on it? Then you should be able to see in the about Pages window which serial number you have.
    If you have a new computer I presume you have Mountain Lion on it. You can buy Pages 09 and Numbers from the Mac AppStore and then open the documents.

  • Lost serial number and need to reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

    After wiping my computer clean, I had to reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 but realized I no longer have the box with the serial number. I purchased the softward from a camera company called B&H Photo but they don't do anything but ship. I have the external box with barcode but not the internal box with serial number. What can I do to reinstall?

    I finally found the correct download page through exploration. I'm sorry I didn't keep track of my path. Anyway, I've got it working!
    Ned, the page you just gave me is where I started. Clicking on "Adobe Elements 12" opens a table describing the product with links because of the way it's set up, I thought the table was inviting me to download the Japanese version or the German version, but no English!
    Thank you so much.

  • My phone was killed by your update. AGAIN! It is now inoperable and stuck on recovery mode. WTH?

    My phone was killed by your update.  AGAIN!  Last time I had to deal with discourteous, uneducated, unhelpful, and downright rude customer service reps (who, by the way, seemed to ignore the fact that I had set up an appointment).  Once the issue was finally acknowledged, I had to erase all content in my phone.  I could have done that on my own.  This time, the update has made my phone completely inoperable, so I can't even call or be called by Apple support?!  This is absolutely unacceptable.  I can't just have my only phone cease to work every time you feel like killing it. 
    It's stuck in the "connect to iTunes" screen with an image of a USB cable pointing at an iTunes logo. 
    Error message no. 14
    I have tried all possible recommended solutions from all help sites.  I have removed all usb connections, except the iPhone.  I have updated iTunes and Windows 7 completely, and restarted my computer.  I have tried restoring it from another computer, which seemed to work, except for when I plugged it into my computer and asked it to load all of my software/media, it died again. 

    Yeah, I was a little upset when I wrote that, and I had copied and pasted it into this discussion board without really looking at who it was directed to.  It's upsetting.  And I absolutely refuse to go to the Apple store for help.  They are incredibly rude.  Besides I can't make an appontment without my phone. . .
